Work in progress.  Has been quite successful in Constructed Event on MTGA with multiple 5-X runs in Bo3 and 7-X runs in Bo1.

 MATCHUPS AND SIDEBOARDING 

 CHANGELOG 

05/02/2019 - Removed 1x Enigma Drake, 1x Niv-Mizzet, Parun, and 2x Negate.  Added 4x Pteramander.  Pteramander is probably the one card that's pushing Drakes decks to competitive levels in this meta, and it seems like an almost mandatory include in this deck.  This deck seems to function fine without Niv, and Negate often ends up being a dead card where you'd rather have access to threats.
27/01/2019 - Removed 1x Deafening Clarion and 1x Cleansing Nova.  Added 2x Dovin, Grand Arbiter.  Purely experimental change.  Attempting to test synergy between Dovin and Drakes, as well as the tokens generated by Murmuring Mystic.  May just end up being a win-more addition, but it is hard to be sure without testing.
27/01/2019 - Removed 1x Spell Pierce and 1x Chart a Course.  Added 1x Banefire and 1x Dive Down.  After noticing a distinct lack of The Eldest Reborn being played, decided to include an additional Dive to protect against single target creature destruction.  Banefire seemed like a necessary inclusion for fighting control decks and closing games through counterspells.
23/01/2019 - Removed 1x Crackling Drake, and 1x Chart a Course.  Added 1x Enigma Drake and 1x Niv-Mizzet, Parun.  Crackling was often times a dead card in situations against aggro where an early blocker would have been more useful, and the inclusion of 4x Enigma helps the deck's curve overall.  Decided to add in one more Niv-Mizzet to help combat control match-ups.
11/01/2019 - Tweaked manabase to include 22 sources, Detection Tower, and Drowned Catacomb as a Black source so that Dispersal could be used in the mid to late game as potential disruption/removal.
11/01/2019 - Removed 1x Quasiduplicate.  Added 1x Murmuring Mystic.  Quasiduplicate was oftentimes a dead card without a good target, whereas Murmuring Mystic provides a solid blocker, doesn't die to Clarion, and produces threats / chump blockers.

 NOTES AND CONCERNS 

11/01/2019 - Murmuring Mystic has been over-performing, especially against control decks.
09/01/2019 - Deck is undergoing more testing and changes after finding that it underperforms vs control and midrange.
